Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changesin equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrideof internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes itprobable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating theresults of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significancein the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe thesematters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
